QUIZ RECAP

Tonight we had 23 teams and an impressive 111 players, plus a very cute dog named Banks (see pic). Round 1 had many players boasting about their latest Wordle score. Round 2 made us grateful for all those cartoons we watched, and a very excited Bricked Up On A Thursday pulled ahead of the pack into 1st place, eying the hat with the 1st place prize tonight. Teams Yoshi, War on Quizmas, and Moms of the Week all tied for 2nd. In Round 3, we listed out all of Tom Hanks classics, and learned that Jingle Bells has a more Thankful beginning than we knew! Bricked Up continued to hold the top spot, Moms of the Week held onto 2nd, and Yoshi moved to 3rd. Round 4 again honored Black History Month, and 2 teams recognized Mrs King at the 10 point level: Shout out to Bricked Up On A Thursday and RDN for that! Round 5 was sneaky / clever / dastardly this week, depending who you asked. No teams got the connection, and when I announced it, I heard a loud "Huh?" But as I read back through the key words from the answers, there was a collective groan as I got to French, and some "I see what you did there" finger shaking. Our top 3 teams held their places through rounds 4 & 5. In Round 6, 6 teams knew all The Write Answers with Double-or-Nothing confidence, and Fully Torqued snuck up into 3rd. Then it all came down to Africa. A few teams thought they'd gotten the right answer, but had put Nigeria instead of Niger - oh no! And clearly everyone was still in it to win it, because no one went for a big booty joke with Djibouti, despite the prime set up of biggest land area. Team Yoshi pulled out an impressive Double-or-Nothing to take back 3rd, while Moms of the Week proudly took 2nd, and Bricked Up On A Thursday finally took home 1st place again. There were a lot of excellent options for Best Team Name, but after ruling out teams that left early or had won before, we voted on two. "Wow... I Can't Even Say This Team Name" was a close 2nd, but the prize went to "Still Flaccid Thanks For Asking." Super fun when they came to collect their prize. I asked "Still Flaccid?" And they said "Unfortunately yes." How awkward that would have been if it wasn't them! 😂 Woodstocks Santa Cruz remains, by far, the awesomest place to be on a Thursday night. See you all next week!
